POULTRY POtXLTBY NOTES IN buying eggs for hatohing dont buy the cheapest you can get . Five dollars a setting is cheaper than $ 1 . 00 if you got better chickens by paying the extra money . You have to depend on the breeder but most breeders are honest . If they tell you the kind of stock the eggs are from you can generally depend on it . The breeder cant afford to sell eggs for $ 1 . 00 a setting from stock that has cost him . twenty or thirty dollars per head . Breeders have birds that cost in time and money $ 40 , $ 50 or $ 75 each . They wont give you tho benefit of that outlay unless you are willing to put up your share . If you intend to start with an incubator this spring dont wait , it is time you had your order in . You really should have the machine in your possession now to try its heating capacity . Run it ten days or two weeks without any eggs to find out whether you are competent to keep an even temperature or not . You may have something to learn . It is estimated tha...

1 Tke Grange r ^ ^ mv ^^^^ r ^^ L ^^^^^^^^ THE FREE ALCOHOL BILL THBEE was a lot of good work done by the farmers last winter in getting the bill passed to authorize the manufacture of alcohol tax free for industrial purposes . The bill is a good one as it stands , but it is thought by a eood many that it could be amended in the interests of farmers by authorizing smaller plants . For this purpose what is known as the Hansboro bill was introduced in the Senate in December . This bill provides for the denaturing of any alcohol of the required proof without regard to quantity . In January a substitute bill introduced by Hon . Thos . F . Marshall of North Dakota , is still more in the interest of farmers , in , that it does away with the necessity _ of building a warehouse . The bill stipulates that tanks to be locked and sealed by an authorized government officer may be used . , The amendments provided will give the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue authority to prescribe more liberal ...
